Memot District (

Tboung Khmum Province, Cambodia. The district capital is Memot town, around 80 kilometres (50 mi) east of the provincial capital of Kampong Cham by road. Memot is a border district and the city of Tây Ninh in Vietnam is 80 kilometres (50 mi) away by road.[2]

The district is easily accessed by road from Kampong Cham or

Kratié. Though there are numerous smaller roads within the district that cross the border into Vietnam, there is no official international border crossing within the district. The closest official crossing is 44 kilometres (27 mi) southeast of the district capital at Trapeang Phlong in Ponhea Kraek District. Memot town lies on National Highway 7 near the midpoint between Kampong Cham and Kratié.[3]

Location

Memot district is the most easterly district in Tboung Khmum Province and shares a border with Vietnam. Reading from the north clockwise, Memot shares a border with

Dambae districts of Tboung Khmum province.[4]

Prehistoric civilisation

Memot has given its name to a prehistoric culture that lived in the area some 2500 years ago. The

Radiocarbon dating of fragments of glass bangles found at one site gives evidence for a first millennium B.C. date.[8] In 2010 another site, "Samrong Circular Earthwork", was unintentionally destroyed by bulldozers to make way for low-cost housing.[9]
